Pop superstar Taylor Swift threw her support behind Kamala Harris for president just moments after the Democratic candidate faced off against Donald Trump in their presidential debate. In an Instagram post to her 283 million followers, Swift announced her decision to vote for Harris, praising her as a fighter for the causes she believes in.

“She fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote. “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first-time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!” Swift encouraged her fans to register to vote and provided links for early voting information.

Swift signed off her post with the humorous tag, “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady,” referencing a comment made by Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance. In a 2021 interview, Vance had criticized “childless cat ladies” as being part of the Democratic establishment, a comment that Swift playfully embraced.

Within minutes, the post had racked up over 2 million likes, reflecting Swift’s influence and reach among her fanbase.

Her endorsement came in the wake of controversy surrounding Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes. Brittany Mahomes faced criticism from some of Swift’s fans after showing support for Trump by liking a post that outlined the 2024 GOP platform. Despite the political divide, Swift remained focused on mobilizing her fans to vote in the upcoming election.
